Infant Hearing
Given the continued spread of COVID-19 worldwide, we have had to make changes to some programs and services.
All hospital locations are now offering newborn hearing screens before discharge.
All community clinics have now re-opened for stage 1 screens (if missed in hospital) and for stage 2 screens (follow-up screens if needed).
If your baby missed their newborn hearing screen due to COVID-19 closures, we are now offering a hearing check. You will be contacted soon to schedule this appointment.
If you have questions, call the Southeast Infant Hearing Program, 613-549-1232, ext. 1145.
